I received the follow survey from Sherrod Brown:

□ Big Bank Practices that Put Our Economy at Risk

□ Keeping Young People in Ohio

□ Credit Card Debt

□ Affordable Health Care

□ Federal Deficit

□ Home Foreclosures

□ Tax Reform

Other:  

I decided not to check any of the boxes, but I did answer the survey.  I consider all of listed items to be symptoms of a much greater underlying problem.  Furthermore, they seem to be based on selfish motivations.  (What is in it for me?)  There is not much there about justice and liberty, though I think some, if not all of the problems would be solved if we did pursue a course of righteousness and freedom.  So I wrote the following in the space provided under “Other”:

Stop all legalized abortions, stop the wars, abolish all federal activities not authorized by the Constitution (see Article I, section 8), abolish the IRS, repeal the 17th Amendment, and acknowledge that the 14th Amendment was never properly ratified
